Modern Dancer

Modern Dancer (2014), 11X14 inches, Digital Prints. 

This series addresses the issues surrounding young women and how they are pressured into the expectations that society, mass and social media have on the idea of beauty. Here I have placed a single ballerina in different skate parks that have graffiti everywhere. I wanted to show how the delicate ballerina looks out of place and vulnerable in this setting. Just as young women are almost forced out of their comfort zones to be considered desirable in society.

This series was taken with a medium format film camera, C-41 Kodak Portra 120 film.
